Ecstatica II

Ecstatica II is a dark fantasy action-adventure in a world built entirely from ellipsoids. You return as a prince to a kingdom devastated by demons beneath a blood-red sky. With your castle overrun, your lands in ruins and the Archmage on your throne, you must reclaim the kingdom and rescue the sorceress Ecstatica by restoring the shattered Elder Sign.

Story and world

After saving Ecstatica from Tirich and bringing her home, you find demons in your castle and Ecstatica missing. With no army to help, you face the forces of chaos alone. Explore the castle, its dungeons, the surrounding village and the wilderness, encountering mysterious traps, dangerous enemies and twisted humour.

Combat and magic

Fight with physical melee combat: pick up weapons, dodge attacks and strike back. You can also cast spells and drink potions, whose effects are powerful and unpredictable. Randomized enemies and encounters mean that playthroughs can differ.

Graphics and sound

The ellipsoid world returns larger and more detailed, with richer animation and more physical combat. You can switch between graphics modes while playing, including a mode based on the 1997 release and real-time high-resolution rendering. The game runs on the CPU alone, and its three soundtrack versions make the same tracks sound different depending on the setting.

Controls and options

The game includes modern controls and controller support. An optional “Shaking Legs” setting restores the leg jitter from the original release.
